Arguing with Confederates on this hellscape of a site had me digging back into the Slave state's articles of secession to find the juicy nuggets. Let's go state by state in order of secession and read them.
December 1860, a month after Lincoln wins the Presidential election, South Carolina becomes the first to vote to secede from the Union. They mention the inauguration, the Republican party, and a "war on slavery." Nothing about tariffs. Image
Early January 1861, Mississippi becomes the second state to secede. I think the highlighted parts speak for themselves. Image

100% of historians think it can and should do both
We can and should celebrate the good things, like going to the moon and the 19th Amendment.

We can and should question the bad things, like slavery and the Indian Removal Act.
History that only celebrates the good stuff and ignores the bad stuff isn't history. It's propaganda. There is a huge difference.

Advice from East Coast doctors to West Coast doctors before the 1918 Spanish Flu spread across the United States is shocking
Also the spread of the Spanish Flu in many major metropolitan US areas can be directly tied to war rallies supporting the troops in Europe in 1918. Large gatherings, parades, sing alongs, and such exponentially spread the flu.
I'm sorry I thought closing schools and churches was something we've never done in this country before and was Socialist or something

OMG this White House conference on American History is insane. This may be a thread. Hold on to your butts.
Speaking right now is Dr. Larry Arnn. He's from Hillsdale College. So.....yeah.
Dr. Mary Grabar was on a Heritage talk last week on history and Howard Zinn, and to push her book. She also was very proud of "being kicked out of academia" for being conservative. She's a wacko.

#OTD 157 years ago the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, the first sanctioned all Black regiment in the US Army, made its famous attack on Battery Wagner. We'll do a day long celebration of the unit, the men, and the assault. 🇺🇸

#54thMass #BatteryWagner #GiveEmHell54th
While not the first attempt at creating an all Black regiment, the 54th Mass was the first one sanctioned by the War Department after the passage of the Emancipation Proclamation, and began the enlistment of almost 200,000 Black Americans into the US Army.
The idea of allowing Black men to serve in the Army, either free men or former slaves, was not new. John Fremont and Benjamin Butler had already tried but were rebuked. It wasn't until the Emancipation Proclamation, and New England abolitionists, that they were formally accepted.

“I would never have drawn my sword in the cause of America if I could have conceived that thereby I was founding a land of slavery.”

~ Marquis de Lafayette, in a letter to John Adams
By contrast, the Continental Army, as Henry Wenwck notes, was “more integrated [racially] than any American military force until the Vietnam war.” In fact, one of the wounded on Lexington Green in 1775 was Prince Easterbrooks, “a Negro man.”
Though, just like today, some were opposed to integration of the Army. Shocking, I know.
